Cooling Fan Air Flow - KitchenAid KGST300 Technical Education

The cooling fan is in series with the cooling
fan bimetal switch, which is located under the
right side of the control panel. When the tem-
perature of the chassis reaches 40˚C (104˚F),
the bimetal switch closes, and turns on the
cooling fan.
The cooling fan draws air from inside the base
of the cabinet. It forces the air up the air chan-
nel, which is located under the left side panel,

Air then flows across the chassis below the
control panel, and cools it. Air enters through
the series of holes in front of the range top,
flows beneath it, and exits to the outside
through slots in the rear panel. When the con-
trol panel chassis temperature drops below
40˚C (104˚F), the bimetal switch opens, and
turns the cooling fan off.
